The First Big Test

Expect "the Republican leadership" to fail.  It will be a good indicator on their commitment to preserve the status quo, though, and not actually make any truly radical changes now that they're tapped into the power source. [Read]

Please...PLEASE prove me wrong.

Check "Liberty Zone". They already have failed. There is no "lesser of two evils" anymore. There is only Evil(D) and Evil(R).

"Unless someone bumps him, ..."

Ummm, is that a coded threat?

Should Ron be worried? Rand? Us?

Maybe the REAL coded message was:

"Unless someone bumps him [off] ..."

Oh gosh, maybe I'm sounding paranoid.

Well, let's just leave this to the FBI. Move along, now.

David, I love this, I wish you would comment on it:

Mark Knoller: On the Republican side, it seems they ran against give-and-take, compromise. They don’t want gridlock, either. They want you to surrender.

MR. GIBBS: And wasn’t that largely the message -- wasn’t that what they said drove them to run for office because somehow that happened on the other side? Again, I think that’s an incongruence that is maybe a subtlety that’s lost during the back-and-forth of a political campaign. But you don’t make progress -- and you’re certainly not going to make progress in a divided government saying, my way or the highway. You’re going to end up with a lot more of what drove people away from having faith in both parties and in their government.

And I don’t think that’s what the American people want to see. I don’t think they want to see an endless recitation of last week’s battles, because we have problems that we haven’t faced and that we haven’t dealt with and that we know if we don’t are going to put us at a competitive economic advantage [sic] as it relates to the rest of the world. And I know that’s not what -- the President doesn’t want to see that, and I think you have a good number of Republicans that believe that, too, Mark.
